Bought ED a while back but just haven't gotten around to playing it beyond doing a few of the tutorials - it strikes me as the kind of game you want a more experienced person to play with at first in order to get up to speed.

I've been watching a few videos of the new Tony Hawks game, and it's hilariously broken. Polygon has a good video of it.

Was never massively into it myself, but the original games that I played were solid.

They should make a new rule for releasing games: If your day one patch is bigger than the original game, then you shouldn't release your game.

I'm not so much angry at that video as I am a little bit sad.
I loved THPS2 and 3, and played them to bits back in the day, but the series lost me once they added all the climbing and running etc.

I was never going to get this, but to think that someone in charge of publishing this said "good enough - ship it" beggars belief. and at full price too.

Ubisoft are teasing what appears to be a stone age based game. They're currently live streaming "Ubisoft Announcement – COMING SOON"

"A cave painting of a man—or man-like creature—holding a bow and large torch, or perhaps a spear, while in the background, another bowman and a spearman appear to be leaning toward off-screen prey. There's also a silhouette of a hand, sparks flying from a fire, and ominous, primitive music."

IGN's Turkish Twitter accidentally leaked it as being "Far Cry Primal", sounds good to me!

Any idea of when exactly is "coming soon"?

"Far Cry Primal" set in the ice age.

Yeah, what are you supposed to do in it bar hunt and make camp? It is more like a mod of FC4 than a new game. I think they may end up canning it.

I'm burnt out of Far Cry. Loved 3 and Blood Dragon. 4 was alright, not memorable but not crap, just a bit meh and more of the same. Probably a much better game if I hadn't played the others.

A mammoth can be a vehicle. Don't be so vehicular specist.

GottaGetGatt

If they make it about pure survival like something like ARk(a long shot i know) then it has good potential. I skipped 4 because it just looked far too similar to FC3.

I like the setting , im absolutely sick of generic shooters at this stage.

Will be live on the 14th!!

Max Mafioso

So I had a go of Battlefront and it was pretty meh, not very realistic.
I mean, the Storm Troopers kept killing me and not with just normal shots buy headshots, I was being sniped from miles away. They never did that in the movies 😠

Hello everyone,

question about the backward compatibility between xbox 360 and xbox one.

I have xbox 360 and one of the games that is played the most is GTA V is it possible to play this game on the xbox one without having to buy the game again?

Thank you

No, GTA V isn't backward compatible and it's unlikely it will be since they ported the game to the next gen consoles.

By most played I assume you mean the online elements? You can import your characters from multiplayer over but as said you'd have to buy the game again

Thank you

If you mean someone playing the XBOne version of say Black Ops and the Xbox 360 then no they cant. Different hardware used to run both games.
If you mean a BC game on the One then you should be able to play against each other on team up between the One and 360

MiskyBoyy wrote: »

GTA 5, but im guessing it wont be possible.
Also if you transfer the GTA 5 character and achievements from the xbox 360 to the xbox one can you continue play on both consoles?

Thank you

Max Mafioso

If they are able to get into the same lobby then yes they can play together however they would both need to be on the same type of console.
Someone playing GTA on the 360 would not be able to get into the same lobby as someone playing on the One
There are game modes on the One that you will not get on the 360
